Rio
Grande National Forest
Available to hikers, ATVs and motorcycles,
East Bellows Trail provides good hiking access to Wheeler Geologic Area,
Halfmoon pass, and La Garita Wilderness. Camping areas are not hard
to find along the trail.
Two segments of East Bellows Trail are drivable with 4WD.
After arriving at Hanson's Mill, those planning to hike to
Wheeler Geologic Area should travel along the 4WD road heading in a
northeasterly direction. After about 0.25 mile this road will fork, follow
the left (west) fork for about a mile down into the East Bellows Creek
drainage. |
